The first complete, hands-on guide to the high performance web server that is the cornerstone of secure, serviceoriented architectures--Sun Java System Web Server (SJSWS) supports Java EE web technologies as well as scripting technologies such as PHP and Ruby.-SJSWS is the most widely used secure, scalable web tier platform deployed in large scale enterprises.-Presents task-oriented administration with numerous clear and concise 'How To' or 'Cook Book' style examples for real-world deployment scenarios. Sun's Web Server is one of the best kept secrets in the industry. It is a secure, reliable, easy-to-use Web server. It is free for development and deployment and has rock solid reputation for production use at popular Internet sites across the globe such as MLB.com, NYTimes.com and GE.com. It is designed for medium and large sites that require a high performance, massively scalable and secure web server and has features and functionality that far surpass those of its competitors. The latest release makes supporting server farms much easier. Key objective of this book is to serve as a bridge to the technology for the serious technical users as well as end users. There are two major sections: one devoted to web developers and the other to web tier deployers and system administrators and features - Summaries, Examples, Laboratories, and Questions and Answers.
William C. Nelson has been in the IT industry for more than 20 years. During that time he has been a developer, instructor, author, consultant, and project manager with a focus on web tier, identity, and access management products. Bill’s extensive experience and effective communication skills allow him to bridge the technical/business divide that so often prevents communication between the data center and the board room.
Bill has authored more than 10 courses for Sun Microsystems focused on the Java Enterprise System. He has been working with Sun’s Directory, Web, and Identity products for several years and brings that experience to the courses, books, and articles he has written. Bill currently lives in Tampa, Florida, where he manages a professional services organization that specializes on identity and access management.
Arvind Srinivasan is one of three architects on the Sun Web Server development engineering team. Since joining Sun Microsystems in 2000, he has worked as an individual contributor and has been the technical lead for the Servlet/JSP container of Sun’s Web Server and Application Server.
